Google plans to roll out generative AI tools that can automatically create online advertising campaigns personalized to users' search queries.
The Alphabet-owned ad giant is ramping up efforts to inject more AI into its core business areas – such as internet search and digital adverts – as it faces challenges to its dominance.

I never notice ads not even those anti-white ones on TV anymore
Be thankful. You’ve fooled Big Brother.
Indeed it’s why cookies are used nothing new to much hype with AI sounds more like an ad for it.
The biggest problem is AI is we’re going to reach a point where nobody believes anything they see or hear.
I’m already there ...
This has been going on for a long time.
